It Was On The Thursday [as shared in worship on Palm/Passion Sunday 2014. Adapted from Stages on the Way: Worship Resources for Lent, Holy Week & Easter by the Iona community, Wild Goose Worship Group] - It was on the Thursday That he became valuable. He hadn’t anything to sell… Not since leaving his hammer and saw three years earlier. Needless to say, He could build a set of trestles Or hang a couple of shelves at the drop of a hat, No bother at all. But he wasn’t into making things. Not now. He was into… Well…talking, I suppose. And listening. And healing. And forgiving And encouraging… All the things for which there’s no pay And for which the employment office has no advertisements. So his work wasn’t worth much. Nor, indeed, was he. Not being well-dressed, well-heeled, or well-connected, He wouldn’t have attracted many ticket holders Had he been put up for raffle. But he had a novelty value… Like the sideshow at the circus. Put him on a stage and he might be interesting to look at. Sell him to the circus, And there could be some money in it. It was on the Thursday That he became valuable.
